A Wide Open Space
A Wide Open Space is a Womanist podcast for Black women of faith who are committed to the journey of flourishing. Hosted by Rev. Dr. Neichelle Guidry, this show sits at the intersection of faith and personal development, offering a decidedly progressive space where Black women are unapologetically centered.
Every episode, we explore the mindsets, practices, and rituals that help us root down and rise up - personally, professionally, and spiritually. Through scripture, storytelling, and soul work, each episode offers a devotional reflection, honest conversation, and a practical exercise designed to help you get 1% better every day.
Whether you're navigating a significant life transition or seeking to re-create your life from within, this podcast is your invitation to partner with God in creating a life you genuinely love. This is for the ambitious, faith-filled Black woman who takes her work and purpose seriously and wants to become her most healed, most authentic, and most excellent self.
Welcome to your Wide Open Space - where transformation meets tradition, and where Black women flourish freely.
